Noisy Halloween

Ghosts should not wear noisy shoes.
Creak. There goes my floor.
Slippers are what I would use.
Bang: The basement door.
I tell them, “Don’t you realize?
You’re noisy. Don’t come in.”
We stand and stare with scary eyes.
They bang the door again.

I adore your image of the gaggle of gourds, and the fun you had with the prompt. Our house is “haunted”, but the interlopers seem transient; no repeat guests–and they’re always silent. We conclude there are portals here that could be inter dimensional

The only ghost I ever saw, my aunt when she died, wasn’t scary. She was very quiet except for her words going through my mind. But those ghosts I see in movies are something else. I have to keep my hand over my eyes when the music suggests that something will pop out of the basement. That’s why I mainly watch comedies like Ghostbusters. Thank, Mary!
